Police are questioning a man who was being sought in connection with the burnings of several Jewish symbols in Brooklyn, acts that are being investigated as possible hate crimes, a law enforcement official said on Wednesday.

Rubin Ublies, 35 years old, was taken into custody after police officials released a photo of him and said he was the main suspect in the arson of 12 mezuzahs inside two public housing developments in Williamsburg, the official said.

He was being questioned by investigators at the 81st Precinct after he was arrested by detectives with the Hate Crime Task Force at his girlfriend’s house at about 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the official said.

The torched mezuzahs, which are affixed outside apartment doors, were first discovered on Monday. Eleven were damaged inside of 85 Taylor St. in the Taylor-Wythe Houses. An additional mezuzah was burned inside 130 Clymer St. on Tuesday, police said.

A mezuzah is a canister containing a parchment with Hebrew verses from the Torah that is affixed on a doorpost.

The law enforcement official said Ubiles has 52 arrests dating back to 1995 and was jailed 13 times for various offenses.

A Facebook profile for Rubin Ubiles featuring photos of the suspect has a post from 8 a.m. Wednesday declaring innocence in the case and referencing past legal trouble.

“I don’t hate Jews,” read the post on the Facebook page, which was confirmed by a law-enforcement official. The post also says that Ubiles would not “threaten a community thats [sic] has not violated me.”

The post also said that the accusation of arson would “create an unnecessary problem for me when I’m on the verge of finally grow as a person.”
